Instructions

Blend all ingredients, except pecans, in a food processor until very smooth. Then add the pecans and pulse a few times until they’re chopped. Pour into a prepared pie crust, and top with additional pecans if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes. If you serve the pie immediately, it’ll be very gooey (not necessarily a bad thing). But if you let it chill in the fridge, it firms up quite nicely the longer it sits. The pie fills up a prepared graham-cracker crust. If your crust is bigger, you might want to make 1 and 1/2 servings or even double the recipe. I cut this pie into 9 slices for the party, but that was because people often prefer “taste-size” slices at parties with many desserts. I’d say this recipe could comfortably serve six.

I always said it pee-can (like toucan) until I moved to Texas. There, people told me I had it all wrong, and it was pee-cahn, or even puh-cahn. They take it very seriously down here… kind of like the “sprinkles or jimmies” debate. By the way, does anyone say “jimmies”? I’ve never met anyone who does!

If you ever feel like making it and telling people about it I would be honored!! It was soooo simple to make just a few ingredients that I already had on hand and no baking required (other than toasting to pecans)!!

To be fair the pie I made is not vegan, but only because I used a store bought pie crust … swap out the crust for a vegan crust and then you will have yourself a 100% true vegan pie!! 🙂

I’m from Texas and I say “puh-cahn”…The “pee-can” is what men keep in the car for long auto trips in case there’s not a serviceable, clean restroom for many miles or any acceptable trees or bushes to duck behind… Women might have these also but it’s a bit more challenging for us gals…(TMI…but this is a joke for us here in Texas)!

(Joke, folks…just a joke…) If you “get” this then I bet you have a hard time saying “pee-can” again without a grin!

I love this pie recipe- and wish I had seen it before Thanksgiving. I indulged too much in a chocolate pecan pie that was definitely NOT as healthy as this. I made a pumpkin pie using silken tofu that was AWESOME.
Oh- and I picked up some of the almond/coconut milk over the weekend… I think I’m in love…
